July 27th, 2017Sweden is routinely voted as one of the best places to live on earth. Maybe that's why Sweden churns out some of the best hockey players in the world.
Ever since the end of World War II, Sweden has found themselves among one of the better teams in the yearly World Hockey Championships. It wasn't until the 1970's though that...

June 16th, 2017A lot of talks have been floating around the NHL regarding the Vancouver Canucks trading away Henrik and Daniel Sedin and gearing up for a full-blown rebuild but frankly, I think that notion is just silly and probably not even feasible in this league. The Canucks are obviously in need of a shakeup but trading the heart and soul of the...

The Sharks fourth...

While playing away from home is often the crux of many squads, there's no excuse for the way the Canucks have played away from Rogers Arena. There are a few games that probably should have gone their way, but that's sports...

February 10th, 2017The bar has truly been set low in Vancouver, with mediocrity being deemed acceptable.

February 10th, 2017The Columbus Blue Jackets needed a better start on Thursday.
